Title: Apparatus for controlling a television receiver
IPC: H03J1/00
Filed: 1990-05-31
Abstract: A television control system is for selecting a 
television channel corresponding to a preassigned channel tuning 
designation. A tuner (18) receives multi-channel input signal 
(20), and in response to a processor signal, tunes out all but 
one selected channel. A memory (28) stores at least one 
operator-assigned channel select designation for the channel 
tuning designations. An operator-actuated control means (26) 
generates a first data signal representative of a desired channel 
select designation for one of the channel tuning designations, 
and a second data signal representative of a desired viewing 
channel identified by one of the channel select designations. A 
processor (30) receives the first data signal from the control 
means, and in response, causes the memory to store the desired 
channel select designation as corresponding to the tuning 
designation. Upon receipt of the second data signal, the 
processor retrieves from the memory the channel tuning 
designation corresponding to the channel select designation, and 
generates the processor signal to correspond to the channel 
tuning designation.

Filed: 1995-07-25
Abstract: Method and device for measuring injection timing are designed to
reduce the operation load and the amount of calculation required
for determination of injection timing relative to the TDC. 
     A reference position signal is generated at a predetermined crank
angle within the range of 30°CA to 90°CA prior to the TDC. CA
signals from a CA sensor are used as main increments and signals
of another kind are used as fine increments to measure a period
from generation of the reference position signal to generation of
an injection signal by an injection valve lift sensor and another
period from generation of the reference position signal to
generation of a TDC signal. The injection timing relative to the
TDC can simply be determined as a difference between the two
periods.

Abstract: An apparatus for translating a series of source words in a first
language to a series of target words in a second language. For
an input series of source words, at least two target hypotheses,
each comprising a series of target words, are generated. Each
target word has a context comprising at least one other word in
the target hypothesis. For each target hypothesis, a language
model match score comprises an estimate of the probability of
occurrence of the series of words in the target hypothesis. At
least one alignment connecting each source word with at least one
target word in the target hypothesis is identified. For each
source word and each target hypothesis, a word match score
comprises an estimate of the conditional probability of occurrence
of the source word, given the target word in the target hypothesis
which is connected to the source word and given the context in the
target hypothesis of the target word which is connected to the
source word. For each target hypothesis, a translation match
score comprises a combination of the word match scores for the
target hypothesis and the source words in the input series of
source words. A target hypothesis match score comprises a
combination of the language model match score for the target
hypothesis and the translation match score for the target 
hypothesis. The target hypothesis having the best target
hypothesis match score is output.

system includes a demand sensor, feed forward fuel pump 
values, adaptive adjustments corresponding to the 
feed forward values, a pump controller which controls the 
speed of the fuel pump, a timer, a steady demand indicator,

chooses a feed forward value which corresponds to the 
engine's fuel demand and combines it with the corresponding 
adaptive adjustment to drive the fuel pump. The system 
monitors the average flow error over a time interval 
throughout which the fuel demand is substantially steady and 
modifies the adaptive adjustments to reduce any error 
offsets beyond a predetermined acceptable level.

Abstract: A lobed mixer (7) has major and minor lobes (8,9). The major lobes
increase in both height and width in the downstream axial direction. Each
major lobe (8) has two minor lobes (9) positioned on its radially outer surface
located downstream of the beginning of the major lobe. The radial depth of the
minor lobes increases with downstream axial distance but is never greater than
the depth of the major lobes. Each of the chutes (11) formed between the
minor lobes introduces an additional stream of cold, low velocity fan flow into
the hot, high velocity core flow to improve the uniformity of mixing. The
double lobed mixer decreases acoustic intensity while having little or no effect
on engine performance.

intercrossing substantially at a right angle. A plurality of
ink channel grooves are formed on the first
surface (24a) and the second surface (24b) in directions
perpendicular to a ridge between the two surfaces (24a,24b).
A plurality of recording electrodes are formed on
convexities between the ink channel grooves
and near ejection points (38) located on the ridge.
A cover is attached to the head block (24) for
covering the ink channel grooves and exposing
the ejection points (38) to the air. Ink (36) is forcibly
circulated by a forcible ink circulation means such as a pump.
The recording electrodes are formed in the lower
reaches of the ink stream compared to the ejection points
(38), and a plurality of electrophoresis electrodes
are formed in the ink channel grooves in the
upper reaches of the ink stream compared to the ejection
points (38). According to the electrostatic ink jet
printing head, excessively higher concentration of the toner
particles at the ejection points (38) is prevented and
stable ejection of the ink (36) from each ejection point
(38) can be executed independently of history of ejection
of each recording electrode, and stable ejection of
the ink (36) from definite and precise ejection points
(38) can be executed, thereby high precision clear printing
is realized with a simple structure of the head and at a low cost.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for supporting a pure client. In an
embodiment of the invention, a client process is executing on a local host
machine, whereas server software for supporting the client is physically
stored on a remote host machine. The remote host machine also includes an
active server process. The remote server software that supports the client is
identified in the local host machine using an automatic, system generated
reference, such as an NFS mount table entry. The mount table entry
associated with the remote server software identifies the hostname of the
remote host machine in which the remote server software is physically
mounted. When the client process has a server request, the client process
iocates the remote server software entry in the mount table (608-610). A hostname
specified in the mount table entry is used by the client process to contact the
active server process at the remote host machine having that hostname.
Thus, a pure client is able to locate and contact a remote server process, such
as an ORB daemon without local ORB daemon support or user intervention.
